SHARLENE CARNEIRO, BSc PT, MSc PT
(Pelvic Health & Orthopedics Physiotherapist)

Sharlene is a Certified Orthopedics Physiotherapist with over 10+ years of hands-
on experience in providing care and treatment to various Musculoskeletal,
Geriatric, and Sports conditions across the world including India, USA and Canada.
After the birth of her daughter and dealing with post-partum stress urinary
incontinence, Sharlene realized the importance of pelvic floor health and feeling a
gap in her knowledge, she decided to pursue Pelvic Health training to help the
multitude of Women who go through similar issues but never seek any
professional help for it.
Sharlene is now a Certified Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist with over 2 years of
experience under her belt and has also completed numerous related courses
including Visceral mobilization of the G.I. system, Labor & Delivery and Csection
Rehabilitation with a goal of completing many more advanced courses to further
her knowledge and experience in Pelvic Health care. Sharlene believes in a
holistic approach for movement and therapy and her mission is to help people
understand how brilliant and unique the human body is and to empower every
individual with knowledge to develop a better functional relationship with their
bodies.
Sharlene completed her Bachelors in Physiotherapy from Rajiv Gandhi University
in India and her Masters in Manual and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation from
Katholieke Universiet Leuven in Belgium. She uses various hands-on manual
therapy techniques, dry needling, individualized functional exercise programs and
patient education to help her clients achieve their goals.
When she is not working at the clinic, Sharlene enjoys spending time with her two
energetic kiddos, creative writing, being outdoors and catching up on all her
favorite TV shows.

Katie (she/her) is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, a yoga teacher, and a new mom! Originally from the UK, Katie had a corporate background before switching her Blackberry (it was 2010!) for yoga pants and embarking on a more holistic career. It was yoga teacher training that introduced Katie to the incredible intricacies and interconnections of human anatomy which was an unexpected catalyst for a third and final career change. Fast forward a decade and throw in a few international moves between BC and New Zealand, Katie now calls Hamilton home and is proud to be an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner in good standing with the Ontario Osteopathic Association.

Osteopathy is a head-to-toe manual therapy that uses gentle and non-invasive manual techniques to support the body and treat the root cause of your symptoms. Being a trusted part of your wellness journey is a privilege, and Katie is a passionate and dedicated practitioner who creates a safe space where you can unwind and feel completely at ease. As a new mom, Katie loves to treat pre/postnatal patients as she benefitted immensely from osteopathic treatment throughout her pregnancy. Regular treatments kept her comfortable moving, grooving, and maintaining a busy practice in a physically demanding job right up to the end of her pregnancy. Now postnatal, Katie understands the strains that a new baby places on the body and continues to benefit from osteopathic treatment as she moves beyond the fourth trimester.

A vigorous osteopathic education ensures that Katie has the skill and knowledge to treat all people and all bodies. Come in your comfy clothes and expect your initial intake to include a comprehensive health history and time to hear your goals and address any concerns.

When not in the office you will find Katie baking (and eating!) cookies, drinking tea, going on lots of walks, camping around Georgian Bay, and spending hours and hours with her son, Elliott.

We stand in awe of every one of you who walks through our doors.

Meet Fabrizia:
Hey there! Thanks for joining me on this chapter of my life, I’m in my RMT and new mama era. A little about me? I’m the kinda gal who is always up for an adventure; run a 30k race 5 years in a row? Climb 900m in 3km on the tallest freestanding pyramid in the world? Move abroad and live as a nomad? I’ve done all of the above. But don’t get me wrong, I also love being a complete beach bum, some would say you’d pull a muscle trying to get me off the sand. Speaking of muscles, my job is to massage them. With my Gemini twin energy, I am capable of chatting it up through our treatment together, or being completely silent, whichever makes you more comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and helping you relax, unwind, and attain your wellness needs through massage therapy. Ciao for now
